t1nm4n Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Ok, newb question, that section you cut from the top center of the slide is now somehow pinned to the barrel and this keep the front sight from moving with the slide? I commented on your original build of the Edge, I almost feel bad for wanting to take those comments back and apply them here instead, WOW HOLY WOWs of WOWs that is just awesome. If there were a way to explain how well it shot I imagine their might be alot of drooling involved, I mean I'm already drooling and I'll never get to shoot something that nice. That gun is so purty I could not hit a target and still look good, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I commented on your original build of the Edge, I almost feel bad for wanting to take those comments back and apply them here instead, WOW HOLY WOWs of WOWs that is just awesome. Thank you sir for your kind words... All the work was done by my gunsmith Jimmy Vidanes @ 1911 Speed Shop in Riverside CA... The barrel is a hybrid barrel from schuemann ... where theres an island on top of the barrel and the front sight is on the barrel soo it hardly moves when the slide moves back. I made it this way to help out my weak and slow eyes... heres the barrel off my 6" : If there were a way to explain how well it shot I imagine their might be alot of drooling involved, I mean I'm already drooling and I'll never get to shoot something that nice. That gun is so purty I could not hit a target and still look good, lol. well theres really no smoke and mirrors and no snake oil ... but the sight tracker really helps me, see the sight for the second shot... the movement of the front sight is less ... But then again ... the gun does look purdy even though I missed the target ,,, hahahaha Edited February 5, 2013 by RippSpeed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
